 Why we manage health and Safety | AIM VISION SAFETY

                 Being safeguarded from harm or other undesirable effects is the condition of being "safe". In order to obtain an acceptable level of risk, recognized dangers can also be controlled. Safety is a subjective idea that depends on viewpoint. It may apply to broad circumstances or particular circumstances. It may also be categorized as physical, psychological, economical, or occupational in nature. 

                 For instance, safety is frequently understood to refer to the measures taken to safeguard employees in a dangerous environment, such as the usage of PPE, work practices, and training.

What Is Occupational Health And Safety?

The goal of occupational health and safety in the realm of public health is to lower the likelihood of disease and injury at work. This covers both preventing mishaps and shielding workers from being exposed to risky situations and materials. Regular workplace safety inspections and training for employees on how to work safely with or around potential dangers are two common components of occupational health and safety programs. Additionally, employers must guarantee a secure workplace and take precautions to avoid accidents.

Reasons To Manage Health And Safety

Moral Reasons/Ethical Reasons

              The moral obligation that each individual has toward others is at the center of moral reason. It is morally unacceptable for workers to be exposed to danger at work, which could lead to pain, suffering, injuries, and ill health. Employees anticipate returning home at the conclusion of their shift and working in a secure environment.

              When a worker is killed, seriously hurt, or contracts a severe disease due to an accident, not only does he suffer, but also his family, dependents, friends, and coworkers. Therefore, in order to keep workers from suffering, an acceptable standard of care must be supplied.

Legal & Social Reasons:

             Due to the fact that laws are created to defend human rights, the employer is compelled to act in the best interests of his employees.

             The framework that controls how businesses and organizations operate is defined by laws.

              In order to hold both employers and employees accountable for that, it establishes their respective rights and obligations.

              One must follow local legislation in order to obtain a license to operate.

              Failure to meet the minimum requirements imposed by laws may result in enforcement measures and legal proceedings.

              Legal justifications also include preventative justifications for avoiding enforcement warnings, such as bans and improvement notices.

                   

Economic Reason :

          Though most employers think of health and safety arrangements as an additional cost, researchers show that it is not true because such arrangements prevent us from so many losses caused by accidents due to the absence of such arrangements. Accidents and ill health result in various direct and indirect costs.

          There are many good reasons for businesses to invest in health and safety management, both from an ethical standpoint and from a purely economic perspective.
